There’s nothing quite so interesting as the social interactions in the wolf pack. Wolves live in packs of about 6 to 10 members. Pack formation is possible because wolves are highly social creatures that develop strong bonds with one another. One of the ways in which wolves interact is through howling. A wolf’s howl is a vocalization, which means that it’s a sound produced in order to communicate. But what are they communicating, and with whom? Wolves howl to communicate their location to other pack members and to ward off rivaling packs from their territory. It’s also been found that wolves will howl to their own pack members out of affection, as opposed to anxiety.
Wolf packs tend to claim large territories for themselves, especially if prey is scarce. These territories can be as large as 3,000 square km (1,200 square miles). Wolves may separate from their packs when hunting, so howling becomes an effective way to communicate about location. A wolf’s howl can carry up to 16 km (10 miles) in the open tundra and a bit less in wooded areas.
Another sort of howl is an aggressive howl to other packs. It warns other packs or individual wolves in the area to stay away from the territory. A pack will also mark territory by using urine and feces.
A 2013 study added an additional reason behind wolves’ howls: affection. The study found that wolves tend to howl more to a pack member that they have a strong connection with, meaning a close social connection. Scientists tested these wolves’ saliva for cortisol, which is a stress hormone, and found that there were negligible results. It wasn’t anxiety causing these wolves to howl for each other. Rather, it may have been affection or another emotion not driven by anxiety.
1. According to the first paragraph, what are wolves communicating through howls?

5. What is the passage about?
People often confuse the concepts of global warming and climate change, and it doesn’t help that media companies often substitute one for the other in magazines, newspaper, and social media reporting. This is somewhat understandable since the two concepts overlap a great deal. In fact, there is a causal relationship between the two. However, there are some subtle and some not-so-subtle differences between global warming and climate change.
The phrase global warming is used by scientists to mean a long-term increase in Earth’s average air temperature. It can refer specifically to such warming that is due to the influence of rising concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Earth’s surface gets most of its heat from the Sun’s rays, which is projected back to space at night. Greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and methane) absorb radiation emitted from Earth’s surface and radiate it back to the surface, and this is called the greenhouse effect.
Climate change is a bit different. It may be helpful to think a bit about climate with respect to weather. Weather, which is often confused with climate, is the set of conditions in the atmosphere in one location for a limited period of time, such as throughout the day or night. Climate, on the other hand, is the average condition of the atmosphere in a given location over a long period of time, such as 30 years or more. Thus, climate change is a longer-term change in the average condition of the atmosphere.
As the world continues to come to grips with how human activities influence Earth’s climate, the tangible effects of climate change that is caused by global warming—such as melting glaciers and ice caps, rising sea levels, and changes in seasonal temperature and rainfall patterns—are becoming the focus. With such disruptions becoming more and more apparent, many scientists are discussing them increasingly in terms of real long-term climatic changes. Consequently, climate change can also refer to the cause-and-effect relationship between global warming and climate change.
